Within the last few years sundry conflicting questions have been agitated :h:o' out the country and ilis.-u-sed in a spirit calculated to impair confidence in its -trength and perpetuity, and furnish abundant cause for apprehension and a larui. These questions have mostly been ola local of sectional character, and a- such should never have acquired general significance or importance. Ali American citizen should divest themselves of selfish considerations in relation to public affairs, and in the spirit of patriotism make di-pa- innate in quisition into the causes which have produced much alienation and bittern. -s atsio: g men uhvu the high est considerations require should be united in ihe bonds of fraternal fellowship.

The value of the Enion is beyond computation; and no respect is due to those who will even dare to calculate it- van .

The Conductor drew the rope attached to the signal hell s Q viol-ntly that it broke, but tit*- engineer either did not understand tile sig nal or paid no attention to it. On the train went wizzing over the snow track n w and then thumping over an exposed cross-tie, on, past Pennington ville, round the curve ami over the bridge at Christiana, until about half a mile this side, the ladies car became detached and capsized.
